the democratic party hostile to their

academic course was unbounded. Last
Thursday night bon-fires were built
sky-rockets and other fireworks were
in abundance. The front campus was
lit up with Chinese lanterns and the
shouts of the students rang through
the frosty air. After the Fireworks
were exhausted, a cry was made for
Professor Page, who mounted the stile
and made a telling speech, comment
ing 1t length upon the ~hberality Of
this state for educational purposes: and
spoke of the passage of the bill with
such a tiattering majority, as a great
achievement for the colored race In the
grand old commonwealth of Missouri .
He explained the academic bill spoke
of how the state would be benefited by
the passage of the normal bill now
pending; congratulated his hearers
upon their now having equal educa,
.tional facilities with other young men
aud women of the state, aud urged the
students TO prove themselves worthy
of the privileges thus conferred upon
them. Prof. Grisham vas then called
and followed with an eloquent address
contrasting the state of Missouri o.
eight years ago with the state Of Mis-

The house has passed the senate
funding bill. 1t is a very important
measure. 1t reduces the state tax to
ID cents on the 800 valuation, and
provides for the adjustment of the
fund commission and the issue of $50
funding bonds. 1t also makes provis-
ion ior the gradual reduction of the

THE SAINTS FAILURE.

With all the desire in the world
to make out a case against Gov.
McEnery, the Saints have, so far,
raised only two special objections.
One is the third term cry, and the
other, personal government. Both
objections have been disposed of
long ago, and not to the discredit of
Gov. McEnery. The personal
government charge has been shown
to be not well founded, as there
are numerous instances where he
has appointed men who have been
opposed to him; and the third
term objection will not bear invest
igation, as he has only been elected
Governor once. Even if he had
been elected twice that would be
no objection. With a few excep-
tons the papers generally admit
he has made a good Governor.
The State is prosperous, levees
have been built, to a greater extent
than ever before, and this season
will witness n remarkable lot of
levee work being done. 1t is we'll
to know when you are well off, and
when you have good thing in the
way ola levee system,and you can't
do better than to keep it. Gov.
McEnery's record on the levee
question, should, alone, be sufi-
cient to insure his denomination.
and it looks pretty clear that it
will insure it.

THE ED CIRCULAR.
II Will Bear Reading Again.

ATTENTION COLoRED VOTERS
Who done away with fences ? A
Police jury, appointed by Nc
Enry. Do you want to elect him
again?
Who closed all the colored
schools? A School Board appoint
ed by Governor McEnry. DO you
want to elect him again?
Let Republican Governor be
elected and the fences will be re-
built and colorcd schools rCopcncd,
because cOlOred men will be ap-
pointed by said Governor Steven
son a Republican on these boards,
aand viii look to the interests of
the colored people.
Hawkins, Johnson & Brown have
all neglected to advise you that a
State Republican ticket was up,
and have tried to hoodwink you
into voting for Democrats who
closed your schools, done away
with fences, and to-day we are un-
able to have COW, hog or mule,
unless it is tied by the leg. Our
children are growing up in ig-
norance. They tell You the State
ticket headed by John A. Steven
son, cannot be elected. OF course
not, if you let them fool you into
voting for Democrats. Now is the
chance to elect our Republican
State ticket. The Democrats are
divided, and all votes will be
counted. We ask every true Re-
publican to rally to the polls and
vote the strait, true Republican
State ticket, And for parish offices
we ask that you support P. J.
Watson and r. l.. Jackson for
Representatives, and ]. T. Nc
Clellan for Sheriff, a. 7. Lane for
Clerk, and such Magistrates and
Constables as you may see fit to
put up.
Do not allow yourselves to be
further fooled. Look with sus-
picion on every statement made
by the Hawkins, johnson and
Brown factions. They have al
ready tried to hoodwink and mis-
lead you, and fool you into voting
a Democratic State ticket, selling
their party allegiance for personal
interest Disbelieve them on all
points.

F. Nichols Gin public.
l cannot afford to offend this
man-at this time, and will give
him what he wants-Francis r.

The Farmerville Home Allocate
copied this and set it in parallel,
but gave no credit to the TIMES.
The Times-Democrat quotes the
same, and credits it to the Advo-
cate.
The TIMES has been freely quot.
ed of late, by the State press, and
in not few instances no credit
has been given the articles,
but they were just captured bodily
and appropriated. This kind of
thing has gone far enough. and
notice is served right here, that all
such performances, in future, will
be noticed, and attention called to
the delinquency. Paste this on

New York. that Dan Bryant came
to Emmett and said: Dan can't
you get us up Il walk around? l
want something new and lively for
Monday night" At that date all
minstrel shows used to wind up
with q walk-around. The demand
for them was constant, and Emmett
was the composer Of all Of them for
Bryants Minstrels. Emmett of
course went TO work, but he had
done so much in that line that
nothing at first presented itself that
he liked. AT last he hit upon the
first two bars, and any composer
can tell how good q start that is in
the manufacture of a tune. By
Sunday afternoon he had the words,
commencing Il wish / was in
Dixie"
This colloquial expression is not,
as mostpeople suppose, a Southern
phrase, but first appeared among
the circus men in the North. In
early fail, when nipping frosts
would overtake the tented wander
ers, the boys would think Of the
genial warmth of the sections they
were heading for, and the common
expression would be: "Well, i
wish l was in Dixie" This gave
the catch line; the rest of the song
was original. On Monday morning
the song was rehearsed and highly
commended, and at night crowd
ed house came to hear the refrain,
and half of the auditors went home
singing Dixie" The song be-
came the rage, and Newcomb's,
the Buckleys' and other minstrel
parties gave Emmett So for the
privilege of usingit. Mr.. Werlein,
of New Orleans, wrote to Emmett
to secure the copyright, but, with
out waiting for an answer, publish
ed it, with words by a Mr.. Peters.
Pond, of New York. secured it
from Emmett, and gave him $500,
but Werlein sold thousands of
copies without giving Dan a nickel.
Not only was Emmett robbed of
the profits of his song, but the au-
thorship of it was disputed. VIII
S. Hays, of Louisville, claimed it
as his own. He told the writer of
these lines that he wrote it at the |
breaking out of the war, but he
was talking to the wrong man that
day, and l told him so. Pom
brought the matter before a music
publishers convention and settled
the question of authorship, but
Dan reaped no benefit from this
tardy justice. Emmett got into
trouble about his song during the
war. 1t was considered a rebel
song, and sapient editor in Maine
that Dan was a Secession
list, and he should be treated as
one, although the song was written
two years before the commence
ment of the rebellion.-[ Prof. Kane

ONE hundred and eleven years ago the
Declaration of Independence was signed in
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, and the
hearts of the American people, delivered
fromsthe oppression of foreign tyranny, were
filed with joy which found vent In happy
thanksgiving, the ringing of bells and firing
Of cannon. Almost a century and a quar-
ter have passed and the principles for
which the veterans of the Revolutionary
war battled have grown better and stronger
in the hearts OF men, the frail institutions
Of l776 have developed into substantial and
lasting elements protected and reyered by a
people who appreciate and understand the
essential benefits and the possibilities of a
country where ''all men are created equal''
and where 'the inalienable rights of citi-
zens are not infringed upon" by a despotic
power. In commemoration then of the
mobility of the cause for which the 'Am-
eFican eolonists" fought 1t is but right and
just that Monday, July A, 1887, one hun
dred and eleven years after the signing OF
the Declaration of Independence, be cele-
